Just asking because your ve52 has awesome flow rate. In a lesser machine with less flow rate ( I have a Ryobi as well) a little more soap amps up foam.

You have about 50% more gpm (1.8 vs 1.2). More gpm makes for thicker foam.

Jealous of your PW…

Thanks for recommending the Ryobi. I wouldn’t have known where to start without your initial recommendation and I love that thing now.

V2 has arrived.

I’ve upgraded a lot from my initial start but the ryobi does everything I need it to. It’s also lasted way past than I thought I would have it

I really like the active unit I have. Performs very well and the small footprint makes storage a breeze. They're currently going for $200 on amazon if you feel like purchasing one.

I was previously using a greenworks 1700 psi 1.2 gpm PW with a cheap amazon foam cannon that came with a 1.1mm orifice and 2 oz of hyper wash worked well with that setup also. But hey everyone has their preferences and 3 oz might be the proverbial sweet spot for someone else.

Next step would be to get some proper sized nozzles. A 3.0 sized orifice nozzle should bump up the flow to a little over 1.4 gpm and drop pressure to a little over 1000 psi. This aids in rinsing off soap and prolongs the life of the pump since it isn't working as hard to produce pressure. You can still keep the smaller sized orifices for other duties but you really don't need a lot of psi for washing your car.

I bought these from amazon that have a rubber guard on them and have no complaints.

I actually think any less pressure would defeat the whole purpose of using a pressure washer.

Not to mention when I 1st put my hand near the spray pattern when I 1st connected my stubby gun I was shocked at how gentle it felt. So shocked that I immediately connected the stock rifle and did some tests just to make sure the gun wasn’t causing a loss of pressure. Fortunately it wasn’t.

I also made the mistake of putting my hand up to it when I connected the turbo nozzle the 1st day I used it and you best believe I won’t be doing that ever again!lol.

I dunno about those nozzle guards, they seem kinda gimmicky… I’m sure the guy who came up with them is counting his money right now but cmon. Lol.

1 thing I love about the pressure washer gun is not having to deal with that stiff dial on my garden hose nozzle everytime I want to shut the water off. Now all I have to do is let go of the trigger. I’m also glad I didn’t settle for a cheaper gun because I heard the cheaper ones require more tension to hold the trigger down, which can get your hand tired while using it.

I got those nozzles because I had one that looked connected shoot off and ding a car. If you stick with same basic nozzle make sure to point away when first engaging gun… the shoot off with alot of pressure.

Thanks but I’ve got it covered, thanks to the tip I learned from the master detailer in this video… It’s because of him that I learned to “check it, and then I check it again”lol.

That clown is an amateur

Real detailers just go through a tunnel wash with the windows down
